1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Research reports a strong association between the experience of psychosis and shame, but there is a paucity of detailed information on the nature of this relationship. This qualitative study explored the relationship between shame and psychosis from the perspectives of people with lived experience of psychosis. Using a trauma-informed and shame-sensitive approach to research, fourteen adults from three mental health services completed semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to develop four themes: (1) Psychosis can expose underlying shame; (2) Psychosis can cause shame; (3) Efforts to minimise, avoid, and resist shame; and (4) Shame can be triggered in mental health services. The study highlights that psychosis can both contribute to new experiences of shame and reactivate shame from past experiences. Greater consideration of how mental health services can be shame-sensitive is needed, particularly within efforts to provide trauma-informed care.
